several attempts using the above
method, there may be a problem else-
where, such as a low battery. Contact
your SUZUKI dealer for inspection.

tem warning light will come on for about
5 seconds while the master warning indi-
cator light is blinking. In addition, the
information display will show a certain
message during this time. Refer to
“Information display” in “BEFORE DRIV-
ING” section for details.

the interior buzzer to sound once for
warning that remote controller is out of

rized SUZUKI dealer for the customiza-
tion.

Certain problems such as a fault in engine
system may prevent the engine switch
from going back to “LOCK” (OFF) mode. If
this happens, have the vehicle inspected
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer after
doing the following:
• Lock the doors using the key to prevent
theft. (The request switches and the key-
less push start system remote controller
cannot be used to lock them.)
• Disconnect the negative cable from the
battery to prevent discharge.“LOCK” (OFF) mode reminder buzzer
The buzzer will stop sounding if you then
push the engine switch twice, thus bringing
back the ignition mode to “LOCK” (OFF).

ing the engine switch to change the igni-
tion mode to “ACC”, the interior buzzer
beeps intermittently.

ing it back the ignition mode to “LOCK”
(OFF).
NOTE:
Whenever you leave the vehicle, check
that you have returned the ignition mode to
“LOCK” (OFF) using the engine switch and
then lock the doors. Without returning the
ignition mode to “LOCK” (OFF), you can-
not use a request switch or keyless push
start system remote controller to lock the
doors.
Steering lock warning buzzer

fault in the system when the ignition mode
is turned to “LOCK” (OFF) by pressing the
engine switch and any door (including the
tailgate) is opened or closed, the interior
buzzer will warn you of this condition with
repeated short beeps. If this happens,
have the vehicle inspected by an autho-

Rearview camera location
54P000316
(1) Rearview camera
The rearview camera is installed beside
the license plate light.
WA R N I N G
The distance viewed in the rearview
camera may differ from the actual
distance according to the condition
of road or the load the vehicle is car-
rying. Since the camera display area
is also limited, backing up by only
looking at the display may cause an
accident or a crash with an object.
The rearview camera cannot replace
the driver’s attention. The driver
alone is responsible for parking and
similar driving maneuvers.
• Use the rearview camera only to
provide driving assistance.
• Always drive carefully confirming
the safety of the rear and the sur-
rounding conditions by looking
directly with your eyes and using
the rear view mirror.
• Check that the tailgate is securely
closed when backing up.
NOTICE
If you use the rearview camera for a
long time when the ignition switch is
in “ON” position or the ignition mode
is “ON”, but the engine is not run-
ning, the battery may discharge.
Do not leave the ignition switch in
“ON” position or the ignition mode
“ON” for a long time when the engine
is not running.
NOTICE
The rearview camera is a precision
instrument. If you strike the camera,
it may be broken and cause damage
resulting in a catch fire or a malfunc-
tion.
• Do not strike the camera.
• Do not remove snow or mud on the
camera lens with a stick.
